Services will be available every Tuesday and Thursday during standard OPD hours, the health department said.
Under this initiative, citizens will benefit from customized therapies such as herbal formulations, homeopathic remedies, Panchakarma, yoga and meditation modules, pranayama, and lifestyle counseling, the minister informed.
Structured sessions will focus on reducing anxiety, burnout, sleep disorders, and other psychosomatic conditions while enhancing overall quality of life.
The program will be rolled out in phases, beginning with a pilot phase in five OPDs, followed by expansion to 11 units (one in each district).
Minister has said, “Modern life has made stress one of the most common health challenges, often overlooked until it manifests into serious illness. Through AYUSH Stress Management OPDs, we are offering citizens a holistic, preventive, and accessible solution that integrates India’s traditional systems of medicine with modern healthcare priorities.”
He added that the initiative will not only reduce the burden on tertiary hospitals, but also empower individuals to lead healthier, balanced, and stress-free lives.
